I completely agree with both those statements, ESPECIALLY the first.  It
seems to be the registry is now the real fragility of W2k, not the NTFS file
system.  IMO, the registry is simply a foolish concept that never should
have seen the light of day.  It is WAY too easy to corrupt, and cause
catastrophic, unrecoverable failure.  Been there, done that.  And...I don't
mean by registry editing, I mean by some fool program writing the registry
and screwing it up.
